August 1 Meeting - Puppet functions

[Corey Osman]

Please join us for the August 1st meeting at Puppet Labs HQ (308 SW 2nd Ave. 97204)! 

We will have Ryan Whitehurst and myself discussing puppet functions for 3.x, 4.x and 

the new native function capability in 4.1+.  Puppet functions are usually a natural progression 

when learning the puppet language and can help manipulate data, the catalog or trigger some remote service.

We will talk about how to create and test functions, differences between all the function types and how to properly document them

so that you can go back and write some of your own.

This will be an interactive session so bring your laptops to follow along.  

We will also using puppet-retrospec for function generation and the puppet-repl for

live function demos so please install these tools before hand so we don't clog the network. 

Feel free to bring anything you'd like to share at the meeting and we'll make time for you!

Agenda: 

* 6:00-6:30 Pizza & salad, including vegan & gluten free options 

* 6:30-7:30 Ryan Whitehurst and Corey Osman - using puppet functions (v3, v4, and native)

* 7:30-8:15 - Open Discussion and future event planning

See you Monday
